Mr. Shiny Pants Cries

Remember this guy?
Brash. Cocky. Hanging 50 on everybody. Cracking jokes about Tennessee and Georgia then backing it up. In the mid to late 1990s, the only thing an opposing fan could hope for is that your team would frustrate the Ole Ball Coach enough so that you would see a visor toss. His Florida teams were so good that when they got beat, it was an event that left fallen goalposts in its wake.

The memory of that dominance is why it is so sad to look at or listen to this guy:
Frustrated. Angry. Warding over criminals.

The latest example is Stevie crying over missed holding calls in his shutout loss to Georgia. I remember the day Spurrier was hired at South Carolina and the fear that spread therefrom. Nothing can change the fact that Spurrier was/is easily one of the top three SEC coaches of all time. But, it is far easier to be that kind of coach at UF, where there are stud players growing on trees, rather than SC, where everybody raids your small talent base and the good players usually end up stealing TVs from you or smoking pot.

I miss the old Steve Spurrier, but I don't miss having to play him.
